A __**Super **__ easy way to get your thoughts online, and visible. If you create a mindmeister, you can share it with other people. The link is []
 * You can use it with your classes at your intern, or even in your high school classes.**

Mindmeiser is an organizer, and communication, and poll helper.

There is a tutorial video  that you can watch to get a better understanding. The video is easy to follow, and helps out a lot. []

To establish an account, you can pick a package, on for free, and two that costs you money. After you do that, just fill out information such as Name, Email, a username and a password. []

There is a free version, but it’s not just for teachers. There are three different packages, one that’s for free, and two others you have to pay for. The difference between the three is you get less for the package that’s for free. You can only create three mind maps. The “premium” package you have to pay $59 per year. Your get unlimited mind maps, you can upload file, and images, and the security is better. The last package is the “Business” it costs $9, per month, and comes with a free 30-day trial. It comes with all the things in the premium package but, has automatic backups, and involves reports and statistics. []

It doesn’t require any age restrictions.

I could use this in my classroom, with my lesson plains, and to get my thoughts about what students could do certain things. In my own school, and my own classes I could use this to help me with projects, and certain thoughts I have about maybe, writing a paper.

The coolest thing I found about this website is how much it can help with keeping all your thoughts separate from one another.
